And the Winners Are… | 2nd Annual Tacos, Wings & Desserts Battle
What an incredible night! The 2nd Annual Tacos, Wings & Desserts Battle brought the flavor, the fire, and the fun to Boca Raton! With over 1,100 guests in attendance—from more than 50 South Florida cities, 7 U.S. states, and even international visitors from Australia—and a stellar lineup of chefs, this year’s battle was our biggest and boldest yet. 
Thank you to all the talented chefs who brought their A-game to the competition, the judges who sampled and deliberated with precision, and every guest who voted and supported this deliciously charitable evening. Your participation helps fuel the mission of the Children’s Giving Foundation, and we couldn’t do it without you.
